not a polyglot

'Tis the season! The season of challenges!!!!

I'm awful at completing things unless I have a goal or schedule I can follow. Ever since I left school I've never had a reason to structure my time because I was/am enjoying the "unlimited" freedom. Time management was never my forte, so I've been slowly developing this skill outside of work. If it's work it looks like I'm on top of my stuff, but me at home is curled up in bed and pushing everything off. So I'm hoping now that I've had a chance to use the Hobonichi (April 2022 - March 2023) planner I can utilize the next April 2023 - March 2024 run to keep track and guide me through it. The April - March planners won't be on sale until March so that'll be on my back burner.

I already have challenges that I'd like to do from languages to anime and reading. My goal isn't to finish all of these things in 2023, but my brain has so many things it wants to do that I just need to get started.

Anime/Manga

• still waiting for MAL to post their 2023 anime watching and manga reading challenge posts (EDIT: 1/19 my anime watching / manga reading challenge posts)
• Interest Stacks on MAL have also been great at smaller "challenges" but I can see them as checklists too

Reading

• StoryGraph 2023 Reading Goal: 30 books, not including manga, but I will be tracking manga on here and MAL for consistency's sake.
• StoryGraph 2023 January Pages Challenge: read one page a day, enter the giveaway
• Massachusetts Center for the Book Challenge: monthly challenge, each month has a different prompt like: book with less than 100 pages or a translated book; 1-2 people who complete it can win a tote with goodies!

Languages

• jibunstudies created the challenge I titled this post after. It's a challenge I've considered doing myself because I've also hit a plateau a long while back where you pick up 1,000 words in 90 days. I'll apply this to Japanese, Khmer, and ASL and I'll be learning the same word across the board. The only tweak will be that for Khmer it's simply learning how to write it. I'll focus on household items and medical terms. If I can expand I'll focus on verbs and conjugations.
• Blog in Japanese here in both formal and informal language at least once a week with at least one new vocabulary from that week. 52 posts by the end of 2023.
• 100 Days challenge: 100 activities to do once a day, not as much of a priority as 90 days challenge since my weakest link is my vocabulary.

Not to mention I'm trying to find a reasonable archery school/program and want to hit the gym for medium intensity, no time to sit back! Let's make it count.
